Hi everyone,
I had a post a couple days ago about my guy have low blood sugar after an inject, thread can be seen here:
https://www.felinediabetes.com/FDMB/threads/low-glucose-warning-up-and-down-every-15-min.285808/
I see the vet tomorrow, and he's acting pretty normal, but my anxiety has kicked in a little
Normally I was told not to give if his mmol is under 12. But because of the low glucose issue the other day, I was told to increase that to 14, so not give dose if under 14
At time of morning dose, he read as HI, and then 2 hours later it started going down, 20, 18, 16, etc, and stayed around 14 after about 8 hours until his evening dose. At feeding time and when getting insulin ready he between was 14.2/5
When I gave his dose, I went to log it, and the meter read 11.4/mmol, so now I'm worried. This was only about 15-20min after it's been 14+ all day. Now it's been hovering between 10-12 and his insulin was only 15 min ago
*EDIT, Insulin was 40 min ago, and it's already at 8/mmol
Unsure how it went low after eating and so quickly from insulin, dosen't food usually increase glucose, and the lantus not kick in for 2 hours or so?
I really don't want another low glucose scare. Did I mess up by giving the insulin?
I probably won't sleep tonight. He's wearing a Freestyle Libre 2, so I will get alerts if too low and will do the honey and food and watch for hypo.
Dose was 0.5 half unit Lantus
